Hope this works for you.
Well, I'll certainly see: I'll see if it can grab a few images from my
USB microscope connected
to a computer running Xubuntu - at least it will be a happy alternative
from endless Grammar
exercises for the kids I'm teaching this afternoon!
Expect a report later today.

Hi Matt:
I have a method for a resizable masked window that requires LC7 -- I'll
try to post something later today or tomorrow. As far as image animation
goes, I have a very vague memory that LC used to be able to export
animated GIF images, but that may have been static images only. You may
indeed need to go with a 3rd party option -- hopefully somebody else has a
suggestion for this.

I need to be able to easily capture stuff the user is seeing on their
screen so that they can import it into my application without having to
navigate the file manager multiple times. There's some good screen
capture
stuff already in Livecode, but what I'm picturing is an actual window
with
a hole in it the user can position and leave there so they know what's
going to be captured multiple times. Like gifcam
http://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/
There doesn't seem to be a way to set the background of a window to
transparent. There is a way to mask the window using a transparent .png,
but that won't allow the user to resize the window. At the moment the
only
mechanism I can come up with is to screencap what's behind the window
every
time the user moves or resizes it and display that in the window so that
it
looks like it's transparent. Is there a better way?
Also, in addition to capturing still images, I'd like the user to be able
to capture animated images (as an alternative to video). So, that part
would be exactly like gifcam. The only mechanism I've found for that is
to
export each frame and then use something external like imagemagik to
stitch
them together into an animation.
